Katherine Esposito, RSW
I'm a registered social worker based in Toronto. I've spent the last five years working with adults on anxiety, life transitions, grief, and burnout — first in clinical settings, and now including the outdoors.
I'm registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW #859640) and hold a master's in social work (MSW) from the University of Illinois Chicago's Jane Addams School of Social Work.
I started walking sessions because the room kept getting in the way. The clients I was seeing — busy, articulate, often a little stuck — needed less furniture and more space. The change was unsubtle.
The paperwork.
